B4. Wastewater <br />Emissions of methane from waste water treatment are calculated using the following equation: <br />Y = (Y)*(R) <br />A2A1W <br />Y = annual emissions of methane from waste water treatment, tons/yr. <br />A2 <br />Y = annual emissions of methane from electricity used for potable water treatment and transportation, tons/yr. <br />A1 <br />R = ratio between potable water usage and waste water production, 0.56 (USEPA, 1992). <br />W <br />Y, tons/yrR *Y, tons/yr <br />A1WA2 <br />1.395090.560000.78125 <br />* R = ratio between water usage and waste water production based on the ratio between indoor water usage and total water usage per <br />W <br />household under the assumption that emissions from potable water treatment and transportation for domestic use are equal to emissions from <br />waste water transportation and treatment. <br />C.
